00:00:00We are standing for the National Anthem of Costa Rica.
00:00:30We are standing for the National Anthem of Costa Rica.
00:01:00We are standing for the National Anthem of Costa Rica.
00:01:30We are standing for the National Anthem of Costa Rica.
00:02:00We are standing for the National Anthem of Costa Rica.
00:02:30Arturo Ramos of Mexico makes a Copa America debut.
00:02:35In charge of VAR, it's Guillermo Pacheca, assisted by Eric Miranda.
00:02:52Well, the fans are set and ready for their Group D kick-off at this Copa America.
00:03:00In the group Colombia, the pace set as winners over Paraguay 2-1 earlier in Houston tonight.
00:03:09It is 6pm local time here in Los Angeles.
00:03:13So, 7pm San Jose, 10pm in Brasilia.
00:03:24Atmosphere is terrific.
00:03:30We are 10 miles south of Hollywood.
00:03:34Costa Rica in a post-Caelor Navas age.
00:03:36Patrick Sequeira plays in Spain's third division.
00:03:39Theirs is the youngest squad in the competition.
00:03:41At 19, there are sky-high hopes for Jayland Mitchell.
00:03:45Orlando Gallo has chipped in a handy three goals across his last five Costa Rica caps.
00:03:51Manfred Ugalde scored and made two assists in their last game,
00:03:54a World Cup qualifying win in San Jorge's Grenada.
00:03:58From that game 15 days ago, a total of three Costa Rica team changes.
00:04:10So, can Los Ticos spring a major surprise?
00:04:13Their only win over Brazil, 1960, at the Pan American Championship.
00:04:21That was in San Jose on home turf.
00:04:24Today, against this Brazil, a very different proposition.
00:04:43Vinicius Junior may be the front-runner for the Ballon d'Or.
00:04:5310, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:05:03It is Costa Rica who get the ball in motion for us.
00:05:06The last teams to get their campaigns underway in the USA.
00:05:10Group D, Brazil and Costa Rica.
00:05:12Brazil, the nine-time champions.
00:05:15Their last title on home turf in 2019,
00:05:19but loses in the final in the American R in the last competition in 2021.
00:05:28Brazil shift the ball here.
00:05:30Marquinhos on to Guilherme Arana.
00:05:35And then Marquinhos just won his ninth title with PSG in Liga.
00:05:41Danilo.
00:05:45Brazil will look to boss possession here,
00:05:47move the ball with a tempo, a pace and a swagger.
00:05:51They are yet to lose in their four games under the current coach, Dorival Junior.
00:05:57All those games, though, before this one, friendly.
00:06:00High ball in, but straight into the arms here of goalkeeper Patrick Sequeira.
00:06:05He plays with Ibiza in the Spanish third division.
00:06:10Keylor Navas has since stepped away from the national team.
00:06:14In goes Vinicius Junior.
00:06:17And now Marquinhos for Brazil.
00:06:19Those iconic yellow shirts, the Canarinha.
00:06:26Guilherme Arana.
00:06:29Eder Militao for Danilo.
00:06:34Another chase on for Rafinha.
00:06:37And Sequeira clear for Costa Rica.
00:06:39They did face Brazil in their first ever game in the Copa America back in 1997,
00:06:43a 5-0 defeat.
00:06:46A game in which Ronaldo scored twice for the Brazilians.
00:06:50We saw there Dorival Junior, the new-ish coach,
00:06:53first game they won over England at Wembley back in March.
00:06:59Danilo.
00:07:04And the chase here.
00:07:05For Brazil, it is Rodrigo.
00:07:09The Argentine Gustavo Alfaro leads Costa Rica here,
00:07:13former Ecuador national coach.
00:07:18Rodrigo says the number 10's on loan to him from Neymar,
00:07:21who has been out here to see the squad in the last few days.
00:07:27His ACL is on the mend.
00:07:30Here's Ugalde for Costa Rica.
00:07:34Ugalde, who really starred in their last game,
00:07:36that World Cup qualifier in Grenada, a 3-0 win.
00:07:39They won both their qualifiers this month.
00:07:42Neves and Kitsanibis, and then Grenada.
00:07:46They have become in recent World Cups regulars on that stage.
00:07:50Los Ticos.
00:07:55And here's the goal.
00:07:56Marquinhos.
00:08:01This is Edemelitao for Brazil.
00:08:07Now Guilherme Arana.
00:08:12Marquinhos.
00:08:14Vinicius Junior.
00:08:23Edemelitao.
00:08:24Danilo.
00:08:25In here to the feet of Bruno Guimaraes of Newcastle.
00:08:33Vinicius Junior.
00:08:35In there towards Rodrigo.
00:08:36The ball smuggled away.
00:08:37Comes here now to Brenes for Costa Rica.
00:08:40The ball turns over, but there is going to be a free kick here
00:08:43against Bruno Guimaraes.
00:08:46Winning today, cat number 23 in that midfield for Brazil.
00:08:55Vargas with a free kick here for Costa Rica.
00:08:59Number three, by the way, Geylan Mitchell, 19.
00:09:03Very much seen as the future of the Costa Rican national team's defence.
00:09:06He's a player with enormous potential.
00:09:09As captain Calvo says, he thinks he can play in the Premier League one day.
00:09:12He has all the skills to do that in his toolbox.
00:09:17Here is Brenes.
00:09:20Vargas now for the captain, Francisco Calvo.
00:09:25A chase-on for Ugalde.
00:09:31Ugalde here goes in too strongly on Edemelitao.
00:09:34It will be a free kick for Brazil.
00:09:41They've won ten, lost just the one of their meetings with Costa Rica
00:09:44down the years across various competitions.
00:09:47Here's Guilherme Arana.
00:09:49Now playing back in Brazil.
00:09:52Spills with the likes of Sevilla and Atalanta.
00:09:55Didn't quite work out for the left-back.
00:09:58Here's Ugalde.
00:10:02And a free kick here wins a base camp for Costa Rica.
00:10:07Now the world's number 52 in the FIFA rankings.
00:10:11Brazil the number four currently.
00:10:18One place gain to overtake England.
00:10:21In the most recent rankings last week.
00:10:25On the free kick here it is Juan Pablo Vargas for Costa Rica.
00:10:29Vargas a little too high that for Haxel Quiroz on this right-hand side.
00:10:33The wing-back.
00:10:35It is the same shape and system they used in their two World Cup qualifiers recently.
00:10:39Costa Rica.
00:10:42Now Vinicius Junior.
00:10:45Brazil currently in their World Cup qualifiers.
00:10:47Sixth place of the ten teams.
00:10:50One point from their last four qualifiers.
00:10:52That home loss to Argentina back in November.
00:10:55A real dark day for them.
00:10:57Their first ever home loss in a men's World Cup qualifier.
00:11:04It was their 65th home game in the World Cup qualifiers.
00:11:09And amazingly that their first ever loss on Brazilian turf.
00:11:17Rafinha.
00:11:18Rafinha still here for Brazil.
00:11:21And the ball blocked away by the goalkeeper Sequeira.
00:11:30The first real scare here then for Los Ticos.
00:11:33Rafinha there was all trickery and acceleration.
00:11:36And Brazil win their first corner of the game inside of seven minutes.
00:11:43Marquinhos lurking.
00:11:45In there too now is Eder Militao.
00:11:49Brazil's first corner of the game is overhit.
00:11:52Way overhit.
00:11:54Way too high for Vinicius Junior.
00:12:00He was onside as well here, Rafinha.
00:12:03Made real inroads and gave the goalkeeper top marks here at the near post.
00:12:06Made sure there was no gap to be found there by the player from Barcelona.
00:12:15Stays nil-nil. Brazil's first chance.
00:12:28Marquinhos.
00:12:30Montanilo.
00:12:32For Bruno Guimarães.
00:12:38Rafinha.
00:12:40Now it's João Gomes of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
00:12:43Only today his fifth cap.
00:12:47The fourth start.
00:12:52João Gomes.
00:12:56Now Danilo.
00:12:59He'll come here to the feet of Vinicius Junior.
00:13:02And that can spell real danger.
00:13:04The twists and turns.
00:13:07The cross has promise but straight into the arms of Sequeira.
00:13:13No question that Kelo Navas leaves enormous gloves to fill for any Costa Rican goalkeeper in the future.
00:13:19Today only a sixth cap for Sequeira.
00:13:21As I say, plays in Spain's lower divisions with Ibiza.
00:13:30Lucas Paquetá.
00:13:32Now Marquinhos.
00:13:34For Guilherme Arana.
00:13:37Preferred over Portos Wendel.
00:13:40To start today otherwise the same team which was held 1-1 by the US in their last friendly.
00:13:47Came back after a Christian Pulisic free-kick.
00:13:50Gave the US the lead.
00:13:53Guilherme Arana.
00:13:58Vinicius Junior.
00:14:00Lucas Paquetá.
00:14:02Danilo.
00:14:05Rafinha.
00:14:07Bruno Guimaraes.
00:14:10Brazil shift the ball well here.
00:14:11It's a good surface.
00:14:15In there to Lucas Paquetá again.
00:14:17Now Brazil can build with Guilherme Arana.
00:14:24João Gomes.
00:14:26João Gomes.
00:14:33Rodrigo.
00:14:36Away there by the head of Mitchell.
00:14:39And further clear by Aguilera.
00:14:42Brazil are quick to seize back possession and seize back the initiative.
00:14:50Vinicius Junior.
00:14:51Vinicius Junior.
00:14:52It is a breakaway on here though.
00:14:54Led by Gallo for Costa Rica.
00:14:57With in here support from Quiros.
00:15:02Have to go back 17 years and 7 additions to find Brazil's last loss in their first game to Mexico.
00:15:08Back at Copa America 2007.
00:15:14Bruno Guimaraes.
00:15:16Rodrigo for Vinicius Junior.
00:15:20Rolls it across.
00:15:21Dealt with though there by Lassiter for Costa Rica.
00:15:29We have lost just one game this year.
00:15:31That was to Argentina too.
00:15:32The world champions in a friendly back in March.
00:15:37Here is Vinicius Junior.
00:15:39Guilherme Arana.
00:15:40Vinicius Junior.
00:15:42Guilherme Arana.
00:15:49João Gomes.
00:15:52Marquinhos.
00:15:57Across forced away there by Calvo.
00:16:01Retrieved by Brazil in Danilo.
00:16:05Inventors captain as well as for his country.
00:16:08Bruno Guimaraes.
00:16:09Rodrigo.
00:16:11Lucas Paquita.
00:16:13Rodrigo again.
00:16:14Rodrigo right across the goal.
00:16:20Major scare for Costa Rica.
00:16:21Brazil have begun to find their range and rhythm around the penalty area.
00:16:26Rodrigo here was super dangerous.
00:16:31Lovely neat combination here in tight areas by Brazil.
00:16:36And Rodrigo here, a flashing shot across the face of Sequeira's goal.
00:16:43Goalkeeper urges calm.
00:16:45I'm sure his heart pounding in that situation.
00:16:55Headed by Bruno Guimaraes.
00:17:00Ugalde for Costa Rica.
00:17:05Alisson.
00:17:08And the goalkeeper's pass here gets in business Danilo for Brazil.
00:17:14Eden Militao.
00:17:16On to Marquinhos.
00:17:20It is a fairly ominous start you'd say here for the Costa Ricans.
00:17:23The way the game has begun to take shape with Brazil able to boss the ball.
00:17:31Danilo.
00:17:33Eden Militao.
00:17:35Only six league starts in Spain last season.
00:17:38That ACL tear in Bilbao in August only came back in March.
00:17:44Came on in their win in the Champions League final at Wembley in late May.
00:17:54A little give and go here but given away to Zamora.
00:17:58In goes the challenge.
00:18:01And it's João Gomes down here for Brazil.
00:18:14Last met at the Copa America 20 years ago now.
00:18:172004 in Peru.
00:18:20A 5-0 win for Brazil.
00:18:22A hat-trick from Adriano.
00:18:30Bruno Guimarães.
00:18:33Vinícius Junior.
00:18:36On he goes.
00:18:37Across covering comes Mitchell.
00:18:40And there the teenage centre-back makes his mark on Vinícius Junior.
00:18:45High ball towards Zamora here for Costa Rica but covered by Eden Militao.
00:18:53A game with a good shape and feel in these first 14 minutes.
00:18:56Bruno Guimarães.
00:18:58Lucas Paquetá for Danilo.
00:19:03Target here is Rafinha.
00:19:06Rafinha, deflection here.
00:19:08It's come to Rodrigo.
00:19:11And Bruno Guimarães.
00:19:13On here to Danilo, deflected, cross, looping!
00:19:17And over the bar but Brazil knocking on the door.
00:19:20In his early minutes.
00:19:22Make no mistake about that.
00:19:27Here in Los Angeles, the Celeção.
00:19:30On the early evidence mean business tonight.
00:19:33In Group D.
00:19:43Brazil corner.
00:19:45Takes it.
00:19:47Brazil corner.
00:19:49Taken here by Rafinha.
00:19:56Rafinha takes the Brazil corner.
00:19:58Away there by Ugalde for Costa Rica.
00:20:00Now can they break away?
00:20:02Answer no.
00:20:04Danilo.
00:20:06Vinícius Junior.
00:20:10Read here by Mitchell.
00:20:11But he's given the ball straight back to Brazil and Bruno Guimarães.
00:20:14Bruno Guimarães.
00:20:16They can't clear their lines here.
00:20:17They can't keep the ball long enough, can they, Costa Rica?
00:20:21Edgy, shaky, nervy start.
00:20:25Those yellow shirts.
00:20:26No matter who wears them, can be for the opposition,
00:20:29intimidating to even just look at.
00:20:34Rodrigo.
00:20:39Rodrigo, lovely ball.
00:20:42It's Rafinha.
00:20:43Rafinha still.
00:20:45Not going to second bite here.
00:20:46Off a defender's touch.
00:20:47Danilo.
00:20:50Lucas Paquetá.
00:20:52And again, Lucas Paquetá.
00:20:59Already it is for Brazil.
00:21:01Shot upon shot upon shot upon shot.
00:21:09Before the game, in the pre-match press,
00:21:11Alvaro, the coach of the Costa Ricans, said
00:21:13maybe apprehension wasn't a bad thing on his team's part here
00:21:17to be cautious, to go in there and know what Brazil can do to you.
00:21:23But he says they can win here, but to do so,
00:21:25Los Ticos need to play, in his words, the perfect game.
00:21:31This is Francisco Calvo.
00:21:33Possession Brazil, 83-17.
00:21:37And that tells a story.
00:21:41Here, though, is Axel Kyrgios.
00:21:45And by Kyrgios, off his own player there, Zamora.
00:21:51He plays with Aris in Greece.
00:21:54Helped them to a fifth-place finish in the Greek Super League
00:21:56in the season just gone.
00:21:58Alvaro Zamora.
00:22:03Back here with Alisson.
00:22:11Dragomys.
00:22:22Rodrigo now to feed Guilherme Urana.
00:22:27Vinicius Junior.
00:22:37It's Guilherme Urana here for Brazil.
00:22:39Again, they win the ball back with a real speed and a tenacity.
00:22:46Now Rafinha.
00:22:49Rafinha for Bruno Guimarães.
00:22:58Bruno Guimarães on here to locate Rafinha.
00:23:05Rafinha.
00:23:07It's Guilherme Urana, whose touch was heavy.
00:23:09And the ball turns over for Galo.
00:23:14Mothrohi just buys some breathing space and time for Costa Rica.
00:23:20In this competition, the top two teams qualify for the quarterfinals
00:23:24of the Copa America.
00:23:27Only tonight, two.
00:23:28James Rodriguez assists helped Colombia to overcome Paraguay.
00:23:32Paraguay.
00:23:34Paraguay, the one team in the group ranked lower than Costa Rica
00:23:38in the FIFA standings.
00:23:40Here is Marquinhos covering for Brazil, for Alisson.
00:23:48Now it's with Danilo.
00:23:52Bruno Guimarães looking here for Vinicius Junior,
00:23:55but far too near to goalkeeper Sequeira.
00:23:59It is a Costa Rican squad really in transition.
00:24:03Mentioned Kelo Navas moving on.
00:24:06Not the only of the veteran guard, the World Cup team from ten years ago
00:24:10that made the quarterfinals in Brazil.
00:24:12The likes of Brian Oviedo has gone.
00:24:18Kendall Waston, Celso Borges.
00:24:21It is certainly for Costa Rica a look here, I think,
00:24:23at a younger squad, a squad for the future.
00:24:26This is the, in average age terms, youngest squad here
00:24:29at the Copa America in the USA.
00:24:36Calvo.
00:24:38For Aliyah Lasseter,
00:24:40whose father Roy won caps for the USA.
00:24:48Gallo.
00:24:50Mitchell.
00:24:52Quiroz.
00:24:53Quiroz.
00:24:56Now Quiroz will chase for Costa Rica.
00:24:59Still Haxel Quiroz.
00:25:05Gallo.
00:25:07Looks to turn away, but
00:25:09just held off here by Brazil.
00:25:11Still stays in play, the walk for Joao Gomes.
00:25:17Away come Brazil, though, it's
00:25:19a potential counter-raid here, but the ball to
00:25:23Rodrigo was a fraction too high on that occasion
00:25:25from Lucas Paquetá.
00:25:32I mentioned in that Costa Rican team, Mitchell,
00:25:36one of the other teenagers on the bench,
00:25:37the players, they've got very high hopes for
00:25:40Andy Rojas,
00:25:42and also
00:25:44Alcocer.
00:25:54Rodrigo.
00:25:56That's a loose ball, it's come here to Lasseter.
00:26:00And the shot
00:26:02from Brenes is blocked.
00:26:04Away come Brazil, who transition with pace and purpose.
00:26:08And Rodrigo now for Vinicius Junior.
00:26:12Vinicius Junior, and the shot
00:26:15is watched away, and again,
00:26:17it is close, but not close enough here for Brazil.
00:26:19Lucas Paquetá
00:26:21on the end of a lightning-fast Brazilian breakaway.
00:26:26The ball came here when that shot was blocked from
00:26:28Jefferson Brenes, and
00:26:30when Brazil transition, the pace they have
00:26:33is frankly frightening.
00:26:37Maybe the wrong ball here, though, by Vinicius Junior, and
00:26:40the shot by Paquetá was not anywhere near close enough
00:26:43to trouble this man.
00:26:51Bruno Guimarães,
00:26:53Lucas Paquetá, great ball through,
00:26:56collision, they want a penalty, referee says
00:26:59no case to answer.
00:27:02Well, Vinicius Junior here
00:27:04feels he had a case.
00:27:07He will, of course, go to review by VAR.
00:27:11You can hear the cheers from the Brazil supporters
00:27:14as they cheer for the Brazilian team.
00:27:16Paquetá.
00:27:18You can hear the cheers from the Brazil support
00:27:21around the stadium.
00:27:27For now, we continue.
00:27:29That's Vargas, on to
00:27:31Quiroz.
00:27:35Brenes.
00:27:38Nearing the midpoint
00:27:41of the first half
00:27:43in Englewood, Los Angeles.
00:27:45That's Aguilera.
00:27:48Aguilera
00:27:50for Zamora.
00:27:52And play waved on, no, play now called back
00:27:55by the referee from Mexico.
00:27:57We'll hear the appeal for that potential penalty.
00:28:00The challenge by Quiroz on Vinicius Junior.
00:28:03There was, I think, not much in this, really,
00:28:06in this replay.
00:28:08Comes across
00:28:10the old-fashioned shoulder challenge.
00:28:15This is Jeland Mitchell.
00:28:20Haxel Quiroz.
00:28:26Brenes.
00:28:31First real spell this of sustained possession
00:28:34for Costa Rica in the first half.
00:28:37Juan Pablo Vargas
00:28:39on to Quiroz.
00:28:40Sustained possession for Costa Rica
00:28:42in the first half.
00:28:44Juan Pablo Vargas.
00:28:47And a foul on Alvaro Zamora
00:28:51against Ede Militao.
00:28:57As I say, he came back only in March after his ACL tier.
00:29:00Ede Militao.
00:29:04So I think of the players here, he's among the most
00:29:07fresh
00:29:08on either squad.
00:29:10So little game time at the end of the Spanish season for him.
00:29:16Jefferson Brenes here for Costa Rica.
00:29:21Jeland Mitchell.
00:29:26Bruno Guimaraes.
00:29:30This is Rodrigo here.
00:29:32What a ball into Paquita.
00:29:34And Bruno Guimaraes twisting and turning, they say.
00:29:37Again, they want a penalty here.
00:29:40It's Rafinha.
00:29:42Joao Gomes.
00:29:48Vinicius Junior.
00:29:59Bruno Guimaraes for Danilo.
00:30:0425 gone.
00:30:07Brazil bossing the ball and the chances,
00:30:10but not the scoreboard as yet.
00:30:12Here is Guilherme Arana.
00:30:17Marquinhos for Danilo.
00:30:22Right, they go now to Rafinha.
00:30:25And the cross and the header.
00:30:27Lucas Paquita
00:30:29in the thick of things.
00:30:30But hear that move, it was
00:30:32through to release Rafinha.
00:30:34Got in behind them and
00:30:36have to give the goalkeeper top marks there.
00:30:38Spreads himself really well.
00:30:40Siqueira to make the save.
00:30:42But no doubt Brazil are getting closer
00:30:45in this first half.
00:30:47Rafinha denied by Costa Rica's goalkeeper.
00:30:49But
00:30:50hear that potential shout for a penalty.
00:30:56And here's Guilherme Arana.
00:30:57Siqueira.
00:31:16Siqueira the goalkeeper.
00:31:18A busy man but
00:31:20an impressive performer so far for Costa Rica.
00:31:22He's had to be as well in these first 26 and a half minutes.
00:31:25Danilo now to find
00:31:27out.
00:31:30Guilherme Arana.
00:31:40Twisting and turning away there from
00:31:42Orlando Galo.
00:31:46Bruno Guimarães.
00:31:48Lucas Paquita.
00:31:50Bruno Guimarães on here for Rafinha.
00:31:52He'll try again.
00:31:55Brazilian corner.
00:31:58That year of waiting for
00:32:00Ancelotti to take over Brazil.
00:32:02Of course he never did.
00:32:04Feels like a
00:32:06wasted year for Brazil really.
00:32:09Another corner here which will be taken by
00:32:12Rafinha.
00:32:17And
00:32:19Guilherme Arana.
00:32:21Guilherme Arana.
00:32:23Guilherme Arana.
00:32:24Guilherme Arana.
00:32:40It's Rafinha's corner for Brazil.
00:32:42All goalkeepers miss this one.
00:32:45Runs across towards Danilo.
00:32:55And so far Brazil have swarmed
00:32:57all over Costa Rica
00:32:59with no reward for it.
00:33:01Here's
00:33:03Danilo again.
00:33:07And the ball given away.
00:33:09Ugalde.
00:33:11But the whistle's gone here.
00:33:13A foul I think on Vinicius Junior
00:33:15has been seen by the referee.
00:33:17Who has been to two World Cups.
00:33:19The Mexican referee into four
00:33:21at CONCACAF Gold Cups.
00:33:23And so has referee games in the
00:33:25Saudi Pro League
00:33:27in the last few months.
00:33:35So Brazil nil.
00:33:37Costa Rica nil.
00:33:39When will this pressure tell?
00:33:41When will Costa Rica buckle
00:33:43under the weight
00:33:45of Brazilian advances?
00:33:48Rafinha
00:33:50is on the free kick.
00:33:53In there Rodrigo lurking.
00:33:55So too Vinicius Junior.
00:34:03Clipped in by Rafinha.
00:34:05And the header!
00:34:07And turned in!
00:34:09At last Brazil do get the opening goal.
00:34:11Marquinhos with the finish
00:34:13from close in.
00:34:20You can't say
00:34:22that's not been coming.
00:34:27Weight of pressure,
00:34:29weight of chances
00:34:31finally tells.
00:34:33And the Costa Rican resolve
00:34:35and resistance has been broken.
00:34:39But is he onside here?
00:34:41The flick on
00:34:43by Rodrigo turned in
00:34:45at the far post there by Marquinhos.
00:34:48It's a super set play for Brazil
00:34:50which opens up Costa Rica
00:34:52Marquinhos with the opening goal
00:34:54for Brazil at this Copa America.
00:35:02On it came
00:35:04and Marquinhos not about to miss that.
00:35:08His eighth goal for the CLSL.
00:35:11And Costa Rica this time
00:35:13had no answer to it.
00:35:23There's always a goal check
00:35:25for the offside potentially.
00:35:31Did look on the first replay marginal.
00:35:46It is a long check
00:35:48for Marquinhos.
00:35:52Which normally tells a story
00:35:54in itself.
00:36:06So Brazil must wait here
00:36:10to see if the goal from Marquinhos
00:36:12is going to be
00:36:14allowed to stand.
00:36:19The length of the check here
00:36:20is revealing I think.
00:36:24The first player who flicks on
00:36:26at the near post is Rodrigo.
00:36:28He's OK on that angle.
00:36:30And then the second flick on
00:36:32surely here Marquinhos OK as well.
00:36:36It looks OK.
00:36:39But is it OK?
00:36:45He's down to mere millimeters here.
00:36:46To see if Marquinhos was just beyond
00:36:48that line
00:36:50of Costa Rican defenders.
00:37:05Want to draw the lines maybe in this
00:37:07situation that tight
00:37:09was the decision.
00:37:11Now.
00:37:15Referee says what
00:37:17we'll hear him say here what the
00:37:19decision is.
00:37:34Offside.
00:37:36The raised arm.
00:37:37Offside.
00:37:39The raised arm.
00:37:59Offside no goal.
00:38:01So back to nil nil we go.
00:38:02That was very
00:38:04very close
00:38:06on the angles we saw
00:38:08very close.
00:38:11A hair's breadth
00:38:13if that.
00:38:22So we are scoreless once more
00:38:24in Inglewood.
00:38:28More than by Siqueira.
00:38:32Let off then for
00:38:34the Costa Ricans.
00:38:36But it is why we have VAR of course
00:38:38to get those marginal calls
00:38:40absolutely correct.
00:38:42Offside is an absolute
00:38:44if spots or grey areas.
00:38:50Marquinhos who
00:38:52is the player to see that goal
00:38:54chalked off.
00:38:59Marquinhos.
00:39:01Towards Rafinha.
00:39:05This is Lassiter.
00:39:14Guilherme Arana.
00:39:17Bruno Guimaraes.
00:39:27Bruno Guimaraes now for Guilherme
00:39:29Arana for Brazil.
00:39:34The ball
00:39:35nicked away from Vinicius Junior.
00:39:38This is Ugalde for Costa Rica
00:39:40on the break.
00:39:41Rare break away for Costa Rica
00:39:43but didn't come to anything.
00:39:45Guilherme Arana.
00:39:47And Joao Gomes.
00:39:56Rodrigo.
00:39:57Lucas Paquita.
00:40:13Well ten to half time.
00:40:16Here is Rafinha for Brazil.
00:40:19Back to Bruno Guimaraes.
00:40:24Guilherme Arana.
00:40:26In towards Rodrigo.
00:40:27It's come to Ugalde here
00:40:28but not for long.
00:40:31Again Brazil quick to win the ball back
00:40:32and recycle it.
00:40:34It's come to Danilo.
00:40:36Towards Rodrigo but in here
00:40:38steps Lassiter for Costa Rica.
00:40:42Calvo.
00:40:44Ball lost in a dangerous area here
00:40:45by the Costa Rican captain.
00:40:48Zamora.
00:40:50Now it's Ariel Lassiter.
00:40:56Defender on the ball now
00:40:58is Francisco Calvo.
00:41:01Captain's 94th cap
00:41:03for Costa Rica tonight.
00:41:05Lucas Paquita for
00:41:07Bruno Guimaraes.
00:41:09Joao Gomes.
00:41:16Joao Gomes for
00:41:17Vinicius Junior.
00:41:21Checks out again here to
00:41:22Joao Gomes.
00:41:24Header clear
00:41:25by Vargas.
00:41:27They come again though here Brazil.
00:41:31Joao Gomes.
00:41:35You can see the compact structure
00:41:37in there for the Costa Ricans.
00:41:39Brazil must play through it.
00:41:41Here is Rafinha.
00:41:45Rafinha.
00:41:46Support from Lucas Paquita with him.
00:41:49Here is Lucas Paquita.
00:41:51Lovely feet.
00:41:52Lucas Paquita's pass meant for
00:41:53Rodrigo.
00:41:58Just blocked away there
00:42:01by the Costa Ricans.
00:42:03It would take I'm sure now
00:42:05the goal as first half if offered.
00:42:18Brazilian corner
00:42:20taken by Rafinha.
00:42:23And the cross
00:42:25delivered here away
00:42:27by the head of Mitchell.
00:42:31Comes back out to Joao Gomes
00:42:33here for Brazil.
00:42:35Alisson will come to make this.
00:42:44Alisson's first Copa was the
00:42:462016 version in the US
00:42:48when Brazil made their first
00:42:50group stage departure
00:42:51since 1987.
00:42:54Under Dunga.
00:42:57Marquinhos.
00:42:59Now Guilherme Arana.
00:43:02Joao Gomes.
00:43:09Benicio Junior.
00:43:13Danilo.
00:43:15Moved on now to Rafinha.
00:43:17And the ball
00:43:19delivered in towards Rodrigo.
00:43:21They I think claim a handball
00:43:23as well here Brazil.
00:43:26Another one maybe for the booth
00:43:28to look at.
00:43:32On field call here.
00:43:34Corner not penalty but
00:43:36we do have of course the eagle
00:43:38eyes in the booth
00:43:40of the video official
00:43:42Guilhermo Pacheca.
00:43:46It appeared to be more chest
00:43:48than arm
00:43:50against Vargas.
00:43:59Tempers begin to boil and
00:44:01bubble a touch here
00:44:03as we near halftime.
00:44:05Brazil corner.
00:44:07So all checks are
00:44:09it appears concluded.
00:44:17Brazilian corner.
00:44:19Referee.
00:44:21Here is among the
00:44:23phalanx of Brazilian shirts.
00:44:33They feel here sure there was
00:44:35a handball which has not
00:44:37been looked at by the video
00:44:39officials close enough.
00:44:47Lengthy discussion.
00:44:49Between referee.
00:44:51And protagonists.
00:44:53Two captains called across
00:44:55their Danilo.
00:44:57And Calvo.
00:45:08Ball placed in the corner
00:45:10area by.
00:45:13Rafa.
00:45:15Rafinha.
00:45:19Rafinha takes it in swinging.
00:45:22Away by Vargas retrieved
00:45:24by Israel Gomez.
00:45:26Ten here is Brandon
00:45:28Aguilera.
00:45:37Still goal is then.
00:45:39In Los Angeles here is.
00:45:41Marquinhos.
00:45:44Joe Gomez.
00:45:50Want to find Danilo.
00:45:53Rodrigo.
00:46:00Need a military.
00:46:04Guilherme Arana.
00:46:10Rafinha.
00:46:12Calvo initially.
00:46:14Brazil come again.
00:46:16It's drug almost of Wolverhampton
00:46:18Wanderers.
00:46:20Guilherme Arana here it's come
00:46:22to.
00:46:23Vinicius Junior.
00:46:24Those magical feats.
00:46:26The cross has pace and the
00:46:27volley is too high.
00:46:30Lucas Peketar again with the
00:46:31chance.
00:46:33Brazil.
00:46:34Remain frustrated and
00:46:36scoreless.
00:46:39They had the handball shot
00:46:41which they felt was a strong
00:46:42case.
00:46:43Against Vargas the arms were.
00:46:45I think in a natural position by
00:46:47the side he didn't really try to
00:46:48make himself any bigger.
00:46:51For all the Brazilian finger
00:46:52wagging.
00:46:53Referee decides.
00:46:55With the VAR there was nothing
00:46:56wrong with that.
00:46:58From defender Juan Pablo Vargas.
00:46:59Marquinhos.
00:47:13We got a lost the ball here is
00:47:14a drug almost.
00:47:16Zamora.
00:47:17Kiros.
00:47:18We'll go there.
00:47:25Back here with Marquinhos for
00:47:26Brazil.
00:47:30Imagine will be when we do hit
00:47:32forty five a fairly healthy
00:47:33number to add on in terms of
00:47:34stoppages.
00:47:36Cause the disallowed goal was a
00:47:38long break with VAR and one or
00:47:40two potential penalty claims as
00:47:42well.
00:47:44Danilo.
00:47:46Stopped here by Calvo.
00:47:49Zamora.
00:47:52Less honors not yet had a safe
00:47:53to make in Brazil's goal.
00:47:55Well there are twenty six
00:47:56players here only ten went to
00:47:57the last World Cup with Brazil
00:47:58of course there's nowhere
00:47:59Edison.
00:48:01No name are with injury.
00:48:04This is certainly a transitional
00:48:05squad for.
00:48:07All of our junior.
00:48:10Says himself it maybe lacks the
00:48:11star quality of previous Brazil
00:48:13squads in the world cup.
00:48:15But.
00:48:16The.
00:48:17The.
00:48:18The.
00:48:19The.
00:48:20The.
00:48:21The.
00:48:22The.
00:48:23The.
00:48:24The.
00:48:25The.
00:48:26The.
00:48:27The.
00:48:28The.
00:48:29The.
00:48:30The.
00:48:31The.
00:48:32The.
00:48:33The.
00:48:34The.
00:48:35The.
00:48:36The.
00:48:37And the goalkeeper says.
00:48:38at it was a very good first
00:48:39half a course to recap.
00:48:46''This Bikan τε
00:48:47in recent matches.
00:48:50Eight shots to zero so with
00:48:52so far, but just two on target.
00:48:58Here's Eder Militao for Danilo.
00:49:06Play waved on here.
00:49:07It's come to Guilherme Arana.
00:49:13Bruno Guimarães.
00:49:17Here's Lucas Paquetar, who's down for Brazil.
00:49:19That was certainly a very heavy collision.
00:49:22In the midfield, no more than a collision.
00:49:26Well, he'll see that offside call.
00:49:29And you see there the toes just kissing the line.
00:49:35And the goal disallowed with a very, very close offside decision.
00:49:45That collision between Ugalde and Lucas Paquetar.
00:49:52Eder Militao.
00:50:01Eder Militao.
00:50:05And the board says there'll be at least four minutes to play.
00:50:07We are now into the first of those stoppage minutes.
00:50:15João Gomes.
00:50:18Eder Militao.
00:50:20Can Brazil strike before the halftime whistle?
00:50:26Guilherme Arana will try again here with a pass.
00:50:30João Gomes.
00:50:34Marquinhos for Eder Militao.
00:50:50Now Marquinhos for Brazil.
00:50:53Involving Guilherme Arana.
00:50:57It's Vinícius Júnior.
00:51:01Rodrigo is there.
00:51:05Much made of Rodrigo having the number 10 shirt.
00:51:07It is, of course, maybe one of the most iconic shirts in world football.
00:51:13Says it is a heavy shirt to wear.
00:51:16Here's Lucas Paquetar.
00:51:18Danilo.
00:51:20Bruno Guimarães.
00:51:27Given away here.
00:51:28João Gomes.
00:51:31And Rodrigo.
00:51:32Rodrigo still.
00:51:35Shot with force and whip.
00:51:37But not dip.
00:51:42The team of Donny Valls Jr.
00:51:45The main goal is here with Costa Rica.
00:51:47For all their ball, all their chances.
00:51:50There's been maybe a lack of a true cutting edge so far from Brazil.
00:51:58Rodrigo with that league and Champions League double with Real Madrid in Spain.
00:52:03And the season just finished.
00:52:05And the chase on for Vinícius Júnior.
00:52:07Goalkeeper comes to meet it.
00:52:13So Costa Rica are nearly at base camp.
00:52:17Here again that potential handball.
00:52:20Arms by the side.
00:52:21Didn't move towards the ball.
00:52:23I think the right decision again by the officials tonight.
00:52:27And the team of Donny Valls Jr.
00:52:29Didn't move towards the ball.
00:52:31I think the right decision again by the officials tonight.
00:52:37Zamora.
00:52:42And a corner one here.
00:52:43No goal kick.
00:52:45Here's the outcome.
00:52:46Assistant there.
00:52:47Right on the scene to spot that.
00:52:49Came off Zamora last.
00:53:00Brazil go long.
00:53:02Chase on for Vinícius Júnior.
00:53:12Brazil corner.
00:53:13A minute to half time.
00:53:18Can they make their mark here before the whistle?
00:53:20Or can Costa Rica see out one last Brazil first half attack?
00:53:26Rodrigo on the corner this time for Brazil.
00:53:33Sent in by Rodrigo.
00:53:34Didn't beat the first defender.
00:53:35He'll come back his way here.
00:53:49Gilgamesh Irana gave the ball away.
00:53:51And that's Orlando Galo.
00:53:55And a foul on him by Rodrigo.
00:54:17Costa Rica halfway there.
00:54:20Goalless first half.
00:54:21The Brazil goal ruled out for offside against Marquinhos.
00:54:24The big talking point in that first 45 minutes in Los Angeles.
00:54:28Brazil for all their possession, all their chances.
00:54:31And found Costa Rica stubborn, dug in and determined.
00:54:36And Brazil so far stifled and frustrated.
00:54:39Score at the break here.
00:54:40Brazil nil.
00:54:41Costa Rica nil.
00:54:52Brazil departs in discussion with the referee for Mexico.
00:54:56They feel maybe one or two potential penalties didn't get given on review.
00:55:01An offside to rule out the goal from Marquinhos.
00:55:04Such a tight call.
00:55:05Millimeters in it.
00:55:07But Costa Rica have so far stood firm in the face of all Brazil have thrown against them.
00:55:14Los Ticos with the first half clean sheet.
00:55:17Halfway towards maybe a surprise result here on match day one in Group D of this Copa America.
00:55:36Very resolute and doggy defensive display so far by the Costa Ricans.
00:55:41They've kept Rodrigo and Benicio Jr. quiet so far.
00:55:45Not much of Rafinha in the field.
00:55:51Now two teams from the city that was at the heart of it clash under the Wembley arch again.
00:55:58Two sides that have been at the forefront of football's three decade transformation into a billion pound industry.
00:56:05For the first half of the Premier League era it was largely red.
00:56:10The second half has been decisively blue.
00:56:14Garnaccio.
00:56:16Spinning in behind.
00:56:17The goalkeeper and defender have come a long way.
00:56:19And Garnaccio is there.
00:56:21And Manchester United lead the cup final.
00:56:25A mix-up between goalkeeper and defender.
00:56:28And Alejandro Garnaccio has scored the opener for Manchester United.
00:56:34And maybe the FA Cup.
00:56:37Manchester United once again are going to produce a tale of the unexpected.
00:56:47Garnaccio again.
00:56:49And for Saka.
00:56:50Look at the space for Kobi Mane.
00:56:51Oh!
00:56:53Where on earth were the Manchester City defense?
00:57:01Erik ten Haag was supposed to be the dead man walking.
00:57:06But his team have come out fighting.
00:57:11And he's done it.
00:57:13And he's done it.
00:57:15And he's done it.
00:57:17And he's done it.
00:57:19Have come out fighting.
00:57:22Pep Guardiola.
00:57:23Manchester City stunned.
00:57:26It's 2-0 to Manchester United in the first half.
00:57:31What a goal this is.
00:57:33Absolutely different level.
00:57:44Now Doku.
00:57:49And it's snuck in.
00:57:52And Arnaud couldn't keep it out this time.
00:57:55And that could be a game changer.
00:58:10The two finals have been won by Manchester United.
00:58:15The FA Cup is in Manchester United's hands again.
00:58:46The Scottish football season begins this July.
00:58:50With action from the Premier Sports Cup group stages.

00:59:54But in that first half.
00:59:55Costa Rica.
00:59:56Very.
00:59:57Very determined.
00:59:58Very dogged.
00:59:59Very resolute.
01:00:00And Brazil.
01:00:01Didn't have the guile.
01:00:02To break them down.
01:00:04And find.
01:00:05A valid goal.
01:00:07There was a goal ruled out for.
01:00:09Marquinhos.
01:00:10Offside on review.

01:03:06Cap.
01:03:07Region.
01:03:08To.
01:03:09Win.
01:03:10On now to find Rafinha who had a good first half Rafinha, Bruno Guimaraes now for Brazil
01:03:18Pushed on to Danilo
01:03:20And again at Bruno Guimaraes little space to work in here now for Danilo the cross dangerous and repelled
01:03:27well by Vargas for Costa Rica
01:03:32Corner not prevented by Lassiter
01:03:34And here Juan Pablo Vargas with that initial block on the cross
01:03:41It does hand Brazil corner early in this second half
01:03:47It was a set piece in which they scored the disallowed goal it was a free kick taken by this man Rafinha
01:04:01Rafinha on Brazil's corner
01:04:04And the effort in the end wide of Rodrigo
01:04:09Who feels he had in his words an inconsistent Real Madrid season though his numbers would argue
01:04:13Otherwise 17 goals and 9 assists in that La Liga and Champions League double
01:04:19Has been tipped by Neymar no less to have more impact here on Brazil than a Vinicius jr. In this Copa, America
01:04:26Costa Rica
01:04:33Costa Rica appearing in their sixth Copa, America
01:04:38Being beyond the group stage twice, but not for 20 years
01:04:422001 and 2004 there to
01:04:47Quarter-final appearances
01:04:53Danilo for Bruno Guimaraes
01:04:56Rodrigo towards Vinicius jr.
01:05:01Lucas Paquita
01:05:03Tackles crunching in there from Costa Rica
01:05:15But a good year for Costa Rica so far there one defeat that friendly
01:05:19Like in March to the world champions Argentina by three goals to one of course no disgrace in that
01:05:27Brazil's results under
01:05:28Don't evolve jr. So far two wins and two draws
01:05:32Wins over England and Mexico and draws with Spain
01:05:36in the USA
01:05:40Here is Bruno Guimaraes
01:05:44Marquinhos for Danilo
01:05:47Rafinha
01:05:50It's Rafinha neatly done
01:05:53There's Lucas Paquita, but no way through again here for Brazil Costa Rica's defensive organization
01:05:59Has been terrific so far Lucas Paquita for Bruno Guimaraes
01:06:04Guilherme Arana
01:06:07It's Vinicius jr.
01:06:09challenge by Mitchell
01:06:14What a free kick given against Jalen Mitchell here
01:06:18Well the young teenage defender upon whom Costa Rica have staked so much at this competition there with the foul on
01:06:25Vinicius jr.
01:06:27We'll see here what happened in that coming together
01:06:32Just two hands on with Vinicius jr.
01:06:36This in the first half Brazil with a welter of set-pieces around
01:06:43This in the first half Brazil with a welter of set-pieces around
01:06:47Sequeira's penalty area Rodrigo has placed this one
01:06:58Rodrigo sends the ball in for Brazil away there by Vargas falls to Joao Gomes
01:07:07And a free kick for Costa Rica
01:07:12Well, I wonder when Brazil will turn to Endrick on the bench at 17
01:07:17Young man about home so much has been said and written so far in the build-up to this a Copa America
01:07:25He has come on and scored winners versus England and against Mexico
01:07:29He had to make a start for Brazil, but he says himself that will come
01:07:36That Rodrigo half chance early in this second half
01:07:43This is a Lassiter
01:07:47Francisco Calvo
01:07:51Calvo strides away here on to Aguilera
01:08:01When Pablo Vargas for Costa Rica Vargas for Lassiter
01:08:06Lassiter's pass into Gaudet went back here for Bruno Gimaraes
01:08:14It will be a Brazilian free kick
01:08:27We need to really get too involved so far tonight for Donny Valls juniors team Vinicius jr
01:08:37You
01:08:41Marquinhos
01:08:44Danilo
01:08:46No
01:08:48Lucas Paquita
01:08:50Rafinha neatly done
01:08:53It's Vinicius jr. For Brazil
01:08:56When he got the cross in
01:08:59Only a goal kick
01:09:02You
01:09:04Sick that the ten teams in their World Cup qualifying table Brazil. That is the last of the automatic positions
01:09:11They are only one third of the way through their mammoth 18 game
01:09:15Qualifying campaign, but they've taken only a single point from their last four qualifiers. Hence why they brought in Donny Valls jr
01:09:23under the caretaker coach
01:09:26Fernando Dini's who did a wretched job really trying to pick up the pieces post the last World Cup and
01:09:32teachers departure
01:09:33The teach after six years did leave big shoes to fill as the coach of this Brazilian group
01:09:41Missing Neymar to is obviously a huge body blow as well
01:09:48Rodrigo's pass chase on for Vinicius jr. Here, but Siqueira off his line lightning-fast
01:09:55Don't keep it impressive so far
01:09:58last seven years spent in the Spanish
01:10:00second now third divisions
01:10:02It looks a very very short goalkeeper Patrick Siqueira
01:10:13Galdi
01:10:16Bruno Gimaraes and Brazil could look to push away here. This is Danilo
01:10:20Danilo Bruno Gimaraes in there to Lucas Peketar
01:10:30It's a João Gomes
01:10:34Lucas Peketar clever ball
01:10:38Well
01:10:40It is Rodrigo who's gone down the game's first yellow card here
01:10:44It is Fernando Dini
01:10:47Game's first yellow card here. It is Francisco Calvo who gets it and this is for why?
01:10:56They're certainly late is he lunged in really on Rodrigo
01:11:00The Costa Rican captain is the first to get a yellow card sanction from the referee tonight
01:11:13So Calvo's caution
01:11:16Best behavior
01:11:22Brazil's frustration grows here is Danilo and clipped in just too high for Rodrigo
01:11:35Well, he said this isn't a Brazil squad with the usual star quality, but certainly Rodrigo and Vinicius jr. Would be assets for any team
01:11:42But of the squad here only 10 went to Qatar
01:11:5015 players began the competition with 10 caps or fewer
01:11:56It is a Brazil in transition
01:12:02Building of course for the World Cup in this country in two years time
01:12:06The
01:12:10Because Bruno Gimaraes, here's Lucas Peketar for Brazil holds off the challenge there of Brennis
01:12:20Marquinhos
01:12:23Guilherme Arana
01:12:26You
01:12:35Rafinha why is the challenge there of Aguilera player from England's Nottingham Forest?
01:12:48Marquinhos
01:12:51In the area running here for Brazil inside has options among them here, it's Bruno Gimaraes
01:12:59On to Rodrigo
01:13:01Rodrigo neatly done here
01:13:03He's Vinicius jr. And the referee says handball here
01:13:08against Brazil and a Costa Rican free kick
01:13:14Already we've had 10 minutes of the second half in Brazil still
01:13:18and yet to find
01:13:20an incision
01:13:24You see just hits the arm of Danilo
01:13:32Next games in the group. I'm coming up on Friday Paraguay for Brazil in Las Vegas
01:13:40Well Costa Rica are in Glendale, Arizona to take on the current group leaders Colombia
01:13:51This is Lassiter
01:13:54Lassiter taken down was he by Danilo and this gives Costa Rica their best dead ball really of the entire game
01:14:03On the clock now into the 57th minute
01:14:07And Costa Rica yet to force a safe malice on but have a chance to do that here
01:14:12Ariel Lassiter will leave this I think for Jefferson Brennis
01:14:21You
01:14:29Well for Costa Rica chances have been non-existent so far in the game's first 57 minutes
01:14:37This would be the definition of smash-and-grab if Los Tico's were to score the game's opening goal here
01:14:45in by Brennis for Costa Rica towards Mitchell arriving on the scene
01:14:50Here's Lassiter
01:14:53And Brazil clear their lines
01:15:05That set piece in the end came to nothing for Costa Rica, but that was certainly a warning to Brazil
01:15:12Need a military for Marquinhos or Joao Gomes
01:15:16This
01:15:19Galvez trip yellow card for Uganda second yellow card for Costa Rica in the second half
01:15:27Shown to Manfred who got it
01:15:39You know can't confirm then for the Costa Rican striker
01:15:42Rafinha for Brazil and still here covered by Calvo
01:15:50Back in by Danilo for the Brazilians, you know, it's with Alvaro Zamora for Costa Rica
01:16:12The
01:16:15World Cup in 2018 it took two late goals to beat Costa Rica 2-0 for Brazil in Russia
01:16:23Maybe similar here today
01:16:31In the corner one by Vinicius jr
01:16:34And
01:16:38They came to capture on their cameras the Brazilian goals which have not come as yet today
01:16:46And sell us out frustrated thus far in goes the corner met and cleared there by Gallo
01:16:53near joao gomes
01:16:55Near the hour mark, which is normally the time coaches begin to think about making substitutions
01:17:00Hendrick and should be the player Brazil's fans would love to see come on the prodigy
01:17:09Here's Joao Gomes
01:17:13Or the flick Lucas Paquita for Rafinha Rafinha pulls it back the flick on and deflections galore
01:17:22And the chance comes and goes for Brazil. It stays school us in Los Angeles
01:17:29There's Lucas Paquita play waved on here, it's Danilo
01:17:36Rodrigo down in the box
01:17:46An hour played
01:17:49And still it is nil-nil
01:17:51Or that lovely slick move it was a little flick on there Vinicius jr. For Rodrigo, but it was Haxel Kyrgios
01:17:59With the block and that Costa Rican defense right now is not for breaching
01:18:10Costa Rica have been defensively excellent so far tonight
01:18:21A fruitless frustrating hour for Brazil so far tonight
01:18:35Rafinha stands on this free kick for Brazil clipped in by Rafinha diving header clear Bruno Gimaraes
01:18:44For joao gomes
01:18:46You
01:18:50Brazil just can't find solutions at the moment. It is to Costa Rica's immense credit
01:18:57They dug in and their structure and their shape and their system
01:19:02Has been executed perfectly so far by Costa Rica
01:19:08Danilo you know Gimaraes
01:19:12Lucas Paquita
01:19:17Lucas Paquita in towards Vinicius jr. Here. We might pick a pocket
01:19:23play by Vargas
01:19:26Now the break for Costa Rica led by Alvaro Zamora
01:19:32Zamora still here going on they're gonna make a double change to Costa Rica shortly
01:19:39Marquinhos the ball up now to joao gomes
01:19:43No sign of a Brazil changes yet
01:19:47You
01:19:54Hey Demi Litao
01:20:01Rafinha
01:20:07Yummy Arana for Rodrigo Rodrigo Bruno Gimaraes Lucas Paquita
01:20:16Rodrigo's there so to Rafinha
01:20:20For Brazil Lucas Paquita
01:20:24Off the frame as close as Brazil have come in the second half
01:20:32It took a bang from range from Lucas Paquita to get Brazil close
01:20:38And now we'll see the double change for Costa Rica
01:20:41They will send on here Alejandro Brown and Warren Madrigal
01:20:46run
01:20:49Midfielder and Madrigal a central striker. So gal day for Madrigal is the first switch
01:20:59And Brant
01:21:00Will go into midfield here as well for lost equals
01:21:04We've seen Brazil go very close to the opening goal
01:21:08So Brennan's makes way for Alejandro Brown on here to win cap number seven
01:21:24He did military
01:21:27Danilo's long and high ball towards Rafinha
01:21:33This is Vargas
01:21:36Give it away now to
01:21:38Gimaraes
01:21:43Nilo dug out the cross
01:21:45Here is Vinicius jr. For Brazil
01:21:49placed by Kiros
01:21:51Who has the last say in that?
01:21:55Costa Rica come away again still waiting for the game's first goal tonight
01:22:01Kiros Haxel Kiros for Costa Rica
01:22:08The
01:22:15Clock near 65 in Los Angeles
01:22:25Sure Gomis Vinicius jr. For Brazil
01:22:29Madrigal
01:22:36There's Lucas Paquita way though comes gallo for Costa Rica
01:22:45Madrigal now is the main striker to be 17 on the ball now
01:22:57Mitchell
01:23:00Vargas now to Calvo
01:23:1165 minutes Brazil have yet to really lay a glove on Costa Rica
01:23:20This is Amora
01:23:23And here the frustration to growing from the Brazil support around SoFi Stadium
01:23:35Calvo some more against Amora here now for Jalen Mitchell
01:23:45Gallup
01:23:52Again with the brand books. I didn't quite reach the the substitute
01:23:58And his team almost three-quarters of the way there towards a surprise point in their first game
01:24:06in Group D
01:24:13Marquinhos for Guilherme Arana as well Gomis
01:24:22And
01:24:25Danilo
01:24:26That's a good-looking ball as well in towards Rafinha
01:24:31Calvo stepping in here for Costa Rica, but the ball again given away. It's Rafinha Bruno Guimaraes
01:24:39Towards Vinicius jr. But just runs away from him
01:24:46So Costa Rica's fresh legs fresh ideas
01:24:48Brazil yet to turn to their bench in this game
01:24:56It's Gallup with Siqueira
01:25:09Good balance Raul Gomis and Lucas Paquita
01:25:13Lucas Paquita
01:25:16The way comes Aguilera here for Costa Rica
01:25:22Aguilera's pass ambitious chase on here for Axel Kyrgios
01:25:26Alisson plays it away, but the pass is loose by Alisson
01:25:30There's Kyrgios again for Costa Rica on the front foot here and the shot blocked runs on now to Lassiter
01:25:39Lassiter 10 here is
01:25:42Aguilera
01:25:43towards Madrigal
01:25:45Costa Rica standing firm and now on the front foot themselves. It's forward by Calvo for Lassiter
01:25:55You know Brazil will make changes I think Endrick is imminent
01:26:03This is Zamora
01:26:06Maybe Savio coming on as well the
01:26:09Winger who was with Girona last season in Spain
01:26:18This is Edemilitao
01:26:21Edemilitao
01:26:23Long ball promising ball towards Rafinha, but again Siqueira in goal immaculate so far for Costa Rica
01:26:33It is time to see if the hype and hyperbole about Endrick is justified
01:26:38Not 18 for another 27 days
01:26:42In the number 9 once worn by Ronaldo. This is coming on number 9
01:26:47Real Madrid bound and maybe super stardom bound Endrick
01:26:51It's 16 cost Real Madrid 60 million euros moves there. Finally this summer
01:26:59Meanwhile, Joel Campbell has come on for Costa Rica
01:27:03So Rafinha makes way here for
01:27:06Savio or Savino as he's been called at this competition and
01:27:12Endrick will make his entrance here
01:27:16For the game's final 20 or so minutes. So Joao Gomes and Vinicius jr. The players taken off
01:27:24Savino and Endrick on here for Brazil
01:27:28the young man
01:27:29About whom so much has been said and written already
01:27:33Endrick is imminent
01:27:36You
01:27:41Not 18 for another 27 days
01:27:46Coming on here Brazil hope
01:27:49In that famous number 9 shirt to do what they require and win the game. No pressure on you go
01:27:58winners versus the English and the Mexican so far in his
01:28:02International career a goal every 48 minutes for Brazil on the field for Endrick across his six caps
01:28:21Marquinhos
01:28:23You
01:28:28Post not to find it a military. This is Danilo
01:28:35Into Savio
01:28:39Savio Lucas Paquita Lucas Paquita, it's Endrick on the turn blocks
01:28:47Brazil come again the cross by Guilherme Arana
01:28:54And
01:28:57Again they go here to find Savio
01:29:01And Savio still Savio's cross towards Endrick and a defenders touch
01:29:07And the goalkeeper has to respond and keep at his own player here
01:29:12Kiros
01:29:15You
01:29:17But Endrick in there already you sense has given Brazil a new pet a new zip a new vigor in that penalty area
01:29:31In goes Brazil's corner away by Aguilera
01:29:39Guilherme Arana
01:29:45Rodrigo
01:29:47Rodrigo for Danilo
01:29:50Now Savio for Brazil
01:29:54Savio whipped in but far too high. That's Brazil's performance in a nutshell so far Neymar in the stands watching
01:30:04He's come back won't be too far down the line but ACL tear earlier in the current season
01:30:11Did meet with the Brazilian team
01:30:14a few days ago
01:30:18But they're Kiros almost the own goal to undo all of Costa Rica's hard work
01:30:27That's bran
01:30:31Lucas Paquita towards Rodrigo Brazil come again
01:30:38Danilo's pass into Rodrigo's feet
01:30:44Or 17 to where the Brazil number nine the shirt, which of course Ronaldo made so famous so iconic
01:30:54And said he doesn't want to be compared to any of the Brazilian greats in years gone by but of course there'll be comparisons
01:31:06We'll hear that little melee
01:31:09And the shot from range off the post from Lucas Paquita
01:31:17Brazil have not come closer all evening
01:31:26The chase on for Madrigal
01:31:29Costa Rican corner one there by the hard running of Warren Madrigal
01:31:34Plays with the Saprissa the current champions of Costa Rica
01:31:39one goal in 12 prior caps for Madrigal
01:31:42Was back in March in the playoff to earn their place here
01:31:47versus Honduras
01:31:56Costa Rica getting close towards a famous point can it become all three
01:32:00Jalen Mitchell is well forward. So to Vargas and
01:32:04Calvo the three center-backs have been pushed forward here by Costa Rica
01:32:08On the corner. It's a real Lassiter
01:32:12Lassiter on the set piece for Costa Rica towards Mitchell
01:32:17Hammered right back in there by Costa Rica. They're retrieved by Aguilera
01:32:22High towards Calvo too high for Calvo
01:32:27And the clock says to play here a little over 15 minutes of normal time
01:32:34As I mentioned at kickoff that this
01:32:37Corporate America where Brazil want to try to win back the love of their football public
01:32:42That's been a disconnect
01:32:43And it's been a tough one for Costa Rica
01:32:45A corporate
01:32:47America where brazil want to try to win back the love of their football public
01:32:51There's been a disconnect
01:32:52between fans and
01:32:54public and players
01:32:57That's a heavy touch there's campbell
01:33:08Rodrigo chase on here now for guilherme arana
01:33:1616 here is any hundred bran
01:33:24Jalen mitchell
01:33:27For juan pablo vargas for francisco calvo
01:33:35You can see the coach there down below pacing doddy bell jr
01:33:45Back with alison who's not had a save to make
01:33:52Bruno gimaraes
01:33:56Lucas pacatar
01:34:03Lucas pacatar again brazil shift the ball well
01:34:11Bruno gimaraes
01:34:14Is
01:34:17Or savio still here for brazil savio going on and on but the shot was wild and wayward
01:34:23And neymar looks skywards. It stays nil nil in los angeles
01:34:34Well a check here maybe
01:34:37Potential handball
01:34:40Against mitchell was there in there but either way
01:34:43It was a long time ago now
01:34:50I think maybe showing the ball didn't cross the line was the reason for that replay
01:35:02Marquinhos closed down there by joel campbell
01:35:05So
01:35:09Marquinhos now danilo for brazil who will know now time is beginning to race away from them to win this danilo
01:35:18Dr. Savio
01:35:21Bruno gimaraes
01:35:23So
01:35:41For brazil now savio
01:35:43All the way through again costa rica have been so well organized tonight. Their structure has been unimpeachable
01:35:54Danilo
01:35:56This is lucas pacatar
01:35:59Lucas pacatar
01:36:01It runs on here and the hit all that's saved by
01:36:05Sequeira enderick back in here too high for pacatar. Bruno gimaraes
01:36:11Like a pinball machine in that defensive line for costa rica, but it stays nil nil
01:36:16And brazil just can't find a way can't find a goal to open this one up
01:36:24So
01:36:26Costa rica just refused to yield
01:36:30Guilherme iran has shot brilliant save by sequeira
01:36:40Now it's madrigal chasing through out comes alisson
01:36:49Now bruno gimaraes for brazil
01:36:52So nil nil to play just over of normal time 10 minutes
01:37:00Joao gomes
01:37:03Bruno gimaraes lucas pacatar
01:37:07That's rodrigo calvo is in there for costa rica
01:37:14Velocita who's dropping deeper and deeper now to almost become for costa rica now back five
01:37:21They try to close things out. Well, joel campbell can turn and push on
01:37:26campbell
01:37:27taken down there
01:37:29By eddie militao yellow card brazil's first of the game for eddie militao
01:37:39Well gustavo alfaro the argentine coach of costa rica
01:37:44Has had his team here set up defensively superbly
01:37:52And joel campbell the ex-arsenal man was caught
01:37:58Yellow card then for eddie militao
01:38:02So two one to costa rica in terms of yellow cards in tonight's game
01:38:09Move on
01:38:10On match day two to friday in group d when brazil
01:38:14Will be in las vegas to take on paraguay
01:38:18costa rica
01:38:19a game in glendale arizona versus
01:38:23colombia who only today beat
01:38:25the paraguayans to want to assist there from
01:38:28the evergreen james rodriguez
01:38:41Costa rican dead ball as they look to find an unlikely
01:38:45Winner in the game's closing act
01:38:49Dario lassiter on the free kick
01:38:53Clipped in here by lassiter alisons. Let that run which was the right decision
01:39:02Yes, we'll do not much for brazil's esteem back home
01:39:06we're going to see another change with
01:39:08gabrielle martinelli coming on of arsenal
01:39:18No, bruno gimaraes
01:39:24Bruno gimaraes clipped through here. What a pass on here for savio savio
01:39:31Blocked away
01:39:33danilo
01:39:34lucas pacatar
01:39:36Towards rodrigo, but this is calvo to clear but there was a flag anyway here against brazil
01:39:48Here that shot to guillermi arana terrific save by patrick sequeira
01:39:56Goalkeeper says none shall pass
01:40:00And so far they haven't
01:40:04Kayla who
01:40:08So gabrielle martinelli is on
01:40:19So
01:40:39Here is gabrielle martinelli fresh on the field for brazil fresh ideas
01:40:46Let's come now to lucas pacata
01:40:49Danilo
01:40:52Lucas pacata for rodrigo rodrigo for savio
01:41:02Lucas pacata poked on here for savio again for brazil
01:41:07It's savio needs options
01:41:11Bruno, gimaraes one of them
01:41:13onto savio again
01:41:15lassiter standing firm for costa rica
01:41:18Dr. Joel campbell here turns away holds off lucas pacata
01:41:26Every costa rican defender has been magnificent tonight
01:41:32So joao gomez departs for martinelli
01:41:37Wolves departs for arsenal from the premier league
01:41:48So
01:41:50Rodrigo
01:41:52Gabrielle martinelli
01:41:55Guillermi arana for brazil
01:41:59Martinelli
01:42:04Can they break down costa rica in the game's final six or so minutes in los angeles
01:42:11Would be so harsh on the costa ricans if they do
01:42:15Here is savio
01:42:17Savio rodrigo and savio savio blocked
01:42:24Now madrigal can come away for costa rica
01:42:35They've given so much tonight the costa ricans they've invested absolutely everything to be where they are in the game
01:42:43And brazil for all their talents
01:42:46Have been frustrated
01:42:48Nothing dorival jr. Has done
01:42:51Has changed that
01:42:56Last five minutes
01:43:01Here is ada militao
01:43:09Bruno gimaraes rodrigo
01:43:13Savio
01:43:16Savio
01:43:19Martinelli guillermi arana. There's rodrigo for brazil takes a tumble
01:43:26We play on here's mitchell
01:43:28It's a counter charge for costa rica. He is quick
01:43:31Jalen mitchell on the breakaway the center back there sprinted away for costa rica
01:43:37And now must retreat himself
01:43:39It's lucas paquita
01:43:43Lucas paquita dropped in here for rodrigo
01:43:46Rodrigo's there for brazil all rather tight
01:43:50Rodrigo in behind endrick
01:43:54And mitchell hacks it away
01:43:59Jalen mitchell's gone down here for costa rica. Well donnie val jr
01:44:04The coach cuts a figure of immense frustration
01:44:09So
01:44:12They said penalty here brazil rodrigo the player who felt he was caught
01:44:20How much contact here is there for mitchell
01:44:24Not much in truth
01:44:28He thought so
01:44:31So
01:44:38Well mitchell 19 years of age plays in the local league in costa rica with alohuela nensi
01:44:46But his captain has said this week calvo he feels he has all the
01:44:50Attributes to be a premier league defender
01:44:53in the future
01:44:54I'm sure his display here
01:44:57As a teenager has more than caught the eye
01:45:00Across the football planet tonight. Jalen mitchell
01:45:04On his fifth cap tonight
01:45:06his first major finals
01:45:08Did give up the game as a young man to focus on basketball briefly
01:45:15We'll hear that rodrigo breakaway in behind for a split second but again sequeira the goalkeeper did enough
01:45:25Another of the heroes tonight is patrick sequeira
01:45:31Is
01:45:36So mitchell away on the stretcher
01:45:41Young man who has more than made his name tonight in that costa rican defense
01:45:51Not a brazil display to infuse will win back the fans back home
01:46:00It's lucas paquita
01:46:05Martinelli
01:46:11Gabrielle martinelli needs options here
01:46:16One of them
01:46:19Loose ball by martinelli seized on here by costa rica and madrigal
01:46:26It's giliani arana here for brazil
01:46:29Back to gabrielle martinelli
01:46:33rodrigo's pass
01:46:34We near the game's last minute now in los angeles
01:46:38It's bruno. Gimaraes
01:46:40lucas paquita
01:46:44Savio
01:46:49Savio back here now to ada minital
01:46:53Why'd they go to giliani arana?
01:46:56All the ball drops here for savio misread there a fraction by lassiter
01:47:02Yeah, defensive laps there from costa rica tonight the ball stays alive here recycled back to eda minital
01:47:09Marquinhos
01:47:12Giliani arana for martinelli
01:47:18Now brazil go back again here to marquinhos
01:47:22Bruno gimaraes
01:47:25Oh
01:47:30It's savio
01:47:32Well the clock nears 90 minutes now still goalless
01:47:37Ada militao danilo for savio
01:47:44Savio going on here finds endric
01:47:47No foul on him
01:47:50One back here there by endric in we go to five additional minutes at the end of the game
01:48:03Here's martinelli for brazil
01:48:06martinelli
01:48:07rodrigo
01:48:09Wants a free kick nothing given again here by the referee for mexico
01:48:13One back here for brazil
01:48:16danilo
01:48:18On for savio it's savio on he goes sets up the shot over the bar bruno gimaraes
01:48:29Is that to be their last chance to win the game gone for brazil tonight
01:48:37Made by savio here and that just clears the bar from the newcastle man
01:48:44Costa rica still in added time
01:48:47They're standing firm and they're hanging on
01:49:02Double change costa rica coming on here
01:49:06joseph mora
01:49:07And also, uh, gerald taylor taylor a fullback who scored
01:49:12In their last game the world cup qualifying win in grenada
01:49:1515 days ago
01:49:20Who plays as the right wing back madrigal flicks on here for joel campbell
01:49:33Another team get one more chance to win the game
01:49:38Foreign
01:49:43The teams have never shared a draw don't forget down the years
01:49:4811 matches 10 brazil wins one costa rica win never have the nation's finished level in a senior men's international
01:49:59Back here with alison
01:50:01So
01:50:04Now it's on to feed marquinhos
01:50:13Bruno gimaraes
01:50:21The dangerous savio it's savio here since coming on really bright for brazil checks out now to danilo
01:50:29Hey, dan millie tau
01:50:32The ball breaks. Oh and then just bounced away
01:50:35from rodrigo
01:50:37He was closing in on it for brazil
01:50:4393rd minute is that to be that for brazil?
01:50:51The header on by lucas paquita and back in by the same player wouldn't fall rodrigo's way
01:50:59Nothing has tonight
01:51:07The noise comes from the costa ricans in los angeles
01:51:18Costa rica know they are close to a momentous start to this corporate america
01:51:26Danilo savio
01:51:29Danilo
01:51:33Marquinhos
01:51:37It's martinelli here towards guilherme arana
01:51:42And blocked off there by jaylen mitchell
01:51:45a minute from
01:51:47being held
01:51:48By they will feel the weakest team in the group
01:51:51Group
01:51:56The goal now for brazil would be so harsh on this man's team who have been defensively magnificent
01:52:10Is madrigal
01:52:15To find a winner brazil have around 30 seconds
01:52:19Oh
01:52:21That's lucas paquita robbed by mora free kick costa rica and that might do it
01:52:49Costa rica now are but seconds away vargas
01:52:55Costa rica take a point against brazil
01:52:58in their first game of corporate america
01:53:02They dug in they were outstanding defensively
01:53:06And all brazil did
01:53:07Nothing good enough to find a way past goalkeeper. Siqueira
01:53:11Who was a colossus a giant a rock for los ticos?
01:53:15It ends here in group d brazil nil costa rica nil
01:53:45Uruguay versus bolivia live this friday on premiere sports 1
01:54:02I remember being in a tunnel before the game you're looking over and you think
